Andy-Andersen aka LilleBuh made this awesome sub.

Please enjoy.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought you were hungry

Crazy me

Goodbye

Where is your sister?

OK, ignore me

If this window is staying open for the length of a coffee

and then you're stuck outside for the rest of the day.

I'm serious

- Mr. Spiegelman

- Madame Gauthier

- In the flesh

- Nice to meet you

- The apartment is on the fourth floor.

I did explain that, didn't I?

- Yeah, you did.

You did definitely.

Well...

I think I should be fine

- If you say so

- You're welcome

My pleasure

Love having a cold apartment

Oh, I can't stay mad at you guys

Spencer, you up?

- Coming

- Speak English?

- Yeah

- Hi

- That's yesterday's.

But there is nothing about the killer

- Did you do the crossword?

- Do I ever?

- Hey

- Hi

- I'm moving in upstairs.

Apartment number twelve

- Thank God.

I thought you were delivering pillows

- That would be a weird job

So cool you guys both are English

Sorry, I'm rude. I'm Victor.

Nice to meet you

- Spencer

Louise

- Nice to meet you

- OK, bye

- And there she goes

- Well, that's the luck with the move there, man.

I'd offer to give you a hand but...

I'm lazy

- No, what? No, no, no...

I have a brother coming in from Ottawa...

- I was kidding, Vince

- Yeah...

OK:

- And he is tall.

Which you know I love

For me the perfect type is when you can slow-dance

and you can rest your head right on his chest

I mean how f***ing hot is that, right?

- Pretty hot

And I never meet guys that tall and blond.

Which is nuts

I totally thought blond guys were like a myth.

I mean, I never see blond guys anywhere, do you?

Oh, and his body...

I know his has an amazing body because at one point

I leaned over and I touched his arm,

and I swear to God he had like,

armor on underneath his t-shirt or something.

I know, right.

And his name is Roland.

Which I know you think is probably lame

but I think it is kind of sexy.

It's like those old British names, you know.

Like he is like the Lord of something, something

Anyway he is picking me up after work tonight

- Don't you finish at midnight tonight?

- So we are going for a late drink

Whatever I am not gonna sleep with him

- But you will

- But he's hot

- Have you read The Gazette?

Is there anything about the serial killer?

- God, seriously Louise. There is no serial killer.

There is just one dead woman

- Three dead and raped

- Whatever

- Are you sure you don't mind?

- No, who cares.

There's no one here anyway

- OK.

'night

- 'night

Oh, if you hear from Natalie.

Tell her I'm gonna murder her

- And rape her

- Yes

- So sorry. I'm so sorry.

It's pitch black outside.

You're coming home by yourself

and I just leap out and say hey

I'm an idiot.

I'm Victor we met this morning

I know it is weird that

I'm standing here.

But I promise I'm just waiting for my brother to come and help me

because I can't really carry this up to the fourth floor all by myself

I'm so sorry

- Stop apologizing it's fine

I've just been reading too much

about the serial killer

- What?

- You haven't seen it?

- Oh, wow. This is awful

- Yeah. it's f***ed

- I had no idea this was happening

- Keep it

- Really, are you sure?

- Positive

- OK.

Thank you

- Tough day?

- Have you spoken to the new guy yet?

- No, just this morning.

You?

- He is down in the lobby

With a couch he can't move

I feel like I should help him, but...

- But what?

- But I don't want to

- That's my girl

- OK, I gotta go feed the cats

- OK

Do you wanna eat something in a bit?

- No, bye

- I'm good

Thank you, Louise.

You know it's not really heavy for a pull-out.

It just kind'a awkward and cumbersome

It's actually my parent's old couch.

Pretty nice of them to give it to me

OK:

- OK

- Thank you so much

You are the best neighbor in the history

of neighbors. Thank you so much.

- Don't give it another thought

- No, no. Listen.

I gotta make it up to you.

Let me cook you supper or take you out for supper.

Something like that.

- Sure, when you are settled

- OK

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

It's just stupid people.

Stupid things they want me to do

Just tonight

And just because you made me

feel so bad for being late

- You get stood up?

- OK, bye Mr. Chou

- You should date nicer boys

- Hey

- Hey.

How's it going?

- Good, good. I still owe you that supper

- Oh, don't worry about it.

- I am not worried about it.

I just want to make sure I thank you properly

- OK. Hey

- Hello

- Good morning

- Good morning

Got the newspaper?

- Oh, I didn't work yesterday

- Big night, anybody watching

the results come in tonight?

- 'cause I thought maybe we could like.

I don't know

Get together, eat food.

See what happens.

Bad idea.

Never mind

- No, sure

- Yeah, let's do it here. I'll cook

- Really?

Amazing. How 'bout I'll bring dessert?

- I'll come sevenish

- Whenever

- OK. Bye

- Man, this is gonna be fun

- It is gonna be a good time

Alright I'll see you there

- I'll see ya

- I'm English

Just give me one...

What's going on?

- Johanne

- What about Johanne?

- Where did she say that she met him?

- She didn't

I don't know where she goes out.

She lives down town I think

She described him to you, though?

- Yeah, but I was barely listening

She said he was blond, muscular.

Tall I think or she thought

It really wasn't very specific

- And she said his name was?
